ASSEMBLE
If free-standing, attach the adhesive-backed rubber feet. If rack-mounted,
attach the rack kit.
If you have an ACM7004-2-M or an ACM7008-2-M, plug an RJ-11 cable into the
front-facing RJ-11 port to connect to the built-in V.92 modem.
Connect the NET1 port to your network. The NET2 port is inactive by default.
Refer to the User Manual for instructions to activate it.
NOTE: 7004-5 models have a single uplink port 1 x Ethernet/SFP (NET1) as
well a 4-port Ethernet switch (NET2) on the back of the unit.
Connect other devices to the serial and USB ports. Plugin the 12V DC power
supply.
LOG IN
Browse to 192.168.0.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) with a computer on the
same LAN as the console server. The device will also get a DHCP address.
NOTE: The device has a self-signed SSL certificate. Untrusted connection
errors appear. Click through the errors to the login page.
Log in with username root and password default. Click Submit.
The welcome screen appears with a list of basic configuration steps.
CHANGE ROOT PASSWORD
Click Serial & Network > Users & Groups.
Click Edit next to the root user. On the Edit an Existing User page, enter
and confirm your new password.

OPTIONAL: CHANGE IP SETTINGS
DHCP is enabled by default. If desired, you can set a static IP.
Click System > IP. Under the Network Interface tab, change the
Configuration Method to Static IP.
CHANGE ACCESS & FIREWALL SETTINGS
The console server’s firewall controls which protocols and services can access
which ports and devices. By default, the firewall only allows HTTPS and SSH
access. To change settings, click System > Services and click the
Service Access tab.

Select System > IP.
For NET1, click Network Interfac e and choose either DHCP or
Static.
For NET2, click Management LAN Interface. Uncheck Deactivate this
network interface to activate NET2. For Configuration Method, choose DHCP
or Static.
If you choose Static, enter an IP Address and Subnet Mask for the NET2
interface. If using OOB, these should correspond to your management network.
CONFIGURE SERIAL & USB DEVICES
Click Serial & Network > Serial Port. Click Edit to modify a specific port.
You can modify common settings including Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop

as the root user. To do so, add a new user to the admin group with full access
privileges. Log out and log back in as this new user for all administrative
functions.
To create a new group, click Serial & Network > Users & Groups. At the end
of the list of existing groups, click Add Group.

• To connect to the pm shell chooser menu, SSH to the console server and log
in appending: serial to your username, e.g. root: serial.
• To connect to a given console, SSH to the console server and login adding
the port number or port label to your username, e.g. root:port02 or root:
MyRouter.
• To connect directly to a given port, SSH to the console server at TCP port
3000 + the port number, e.g. 3002 for serial port 2.
Telnet:
Telnet to the console server at TCP port 2000 + the port number, e.g.2002 for
serial port 2.
Web Terminal:
For console access using your browser, click Manage > Devices > Serial and
click the port’s Web Terminal link.
